if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Ha, I hadn't even thought of that. Will have to try it soon.

I would have one if the corner of my dorm where my monitor sits wasn't so gross.

Is it me, or are the ALL Macs?

What is it about "us"?

^^^ Mac people are all superficial trendwhores Look at the iPod - it's a piece of crap, but all the arts and commerce students on my campus have one. The Computer Science and Engineering students know better.

"Look at the iPod - it's a piece of crap"

ROFL

you know....to do this and make it look as good as those....is quite difficult. more difficult than i thought at first. to get the right angle and to get the image look like it is actually part of the background....man.

Later,

"is quite difficult" - not if you have a tripod, takes about 5 minutes

This has inspired me to reach for my camera...

Don't stop there Nada, try and create the transparent screen too ...

I saw that few days ago. That's funny indeed.
I wonder how it feels like to work with such a wallpaper. Is the "illusion" really working on its creator's eyes.

I once played a prank on a friend at work similar to this.

When he was off for coffee, I took a print screen of his screen with open applications and added that as bg on the screen without disturbing the open apps...

3 hours & 3 reboots later he gave up closing apps and called support
It took them 30 minutes to figure it out.
Man, I loved that! Gotta do it again here

My technique is to screen cap a small GAY.COM window amongst the desktop icons (hard to do with a messy desktop) then change the cursor arrow to an hour glass, takes a bit longer for them to call support when they're locked up at that URL

alrighty then. the whole stuff is quite easy as long as you take care of the angle.
sorry for this unsharp image.....with the lightning of the camera the TFTs looked very ugly, and in the evening, without a good light source and a tripod it was hard to get a sharp image out of my dads sony cybershot! there will be a perfect version tomorrow
(oh and i know that the corner of the left display doesnt fit in correctly....there was a thunderbold which made my PC going boom, i had to put the laptop away and bla.....stupid stuff happened )

Hah, nice!

actual time 20 minutes! and it ain't so good, so I have a big mouth apparently

wow jason, thats awesome
and there is even my image in the background . now it would be great if you see my transparent dtop through yours
nice work!
BTW retouching would be a lot easier i think. but having this really as a wallpaper makes it so funny =)
